Cybercrime and the Dark Web

Criminals looking to buy or sell their illegal items have long depended on the black market to conduct their trades. With the evolution of technology, we have brought these markets to the internet. We will explore the different aspects of the internet, including the surface web, deep web, and dark web. The deep and dark parts of the internet allow criminals to exchange illegal goods and services, such as Silk Road.

This site was designed to buy and sell drugs anonymously. Cybercriminals are also leveraging the web to buy and sell their stolen data or cyber products and services. Understanding how the internet is leveraged for crime gives us a better understanding how to protect our institutions. We will also explore the types of cybercrime affecting financial intuitions and how to counter these risks.
